This paper deals with estimating data from experiments determining lottery certainty equivalents. The paper presents the parametric and nonparametric results of the least squares (mean), quantile (including median) and mode estimations. The examined data are found to be positively skewed for low...

This paper presents a regression procedure for inhomogeneous data characterized by varying variance, skewness and kurtosis or by an unequal amount of data over the estimation domain. The concept is based first on the estimation of the densities of an observed variable for given values of...

This paper presents a nonparametric approach to classification of data from lottery experiments. Using very basic mathematical tools the paper endeavors to answer the questions: How to determine the “average” subject in a group? How to find a subject presenting the most similar behavior to a...

This is a very draft version of the report "The random-lottery incentive system. Can p~1 experiments deductions be correct?". It is published to extend the abstract of the report. Aczél and Luce emphasized a fundamental question: whether W(1)=1 (whether the Prelec weighting function equals 1 at...

This paper introduces a new method of estimating indifference curves in the Marschak-Machina triangle. The method involves posing questions about indifference. Contrary to previous attempts, where subjects were required to identify those lotteries to which they were indifferent vis-à-vis a...

This paper presents results of a study, which shed new light on the shape of indifference curves in the Marschak-Machina triangle. The most important observation concerns (possibly discontinuous) jumps in indifference curves at the triangle legs towards the triangle origin. Such jumps, however,...

Just as the African economy is confronting its sharpest reversal in a generation; Nigeria is currently faced with perhaps the most challenging economic downturn (amidst fuel subsidy removal) in its history. Thus, social protection programmes in the form of social cash transfers to vulnerable...

The discounted utility theory is a cornerstone of financial theory, particularly in inter-temporal asset pricing and portfolio management. This theory questioning has opened a whole field of research in psychology, economics, and management, and has undergone several enhancements recently. Its...
